Chapter 811: Wow! Well done!
"Wow!" Robb applauded. "Well done, Kante."
After the sarcastic remark, Robb wiped his sweat and said, "Well, it seems Lord Nuolun won't cry anymore, right?"
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, "Lord Nuolun wont know whether to cry or laugh."
Suofa couldn't help but say, "Godfather, please give the high-quality equipment to someone with a promising future and stop wasting it on this fool."
Robb said, "I think Kante has a promising future."
Everyone responded, "Although you are our highly respected Godfather, you shouldn't talk nonsense!"
The naval battle at sea continued.
After Kante captured a section of the enemy's deck, the sailors of the Kingdom of Glen kept crossing over using ropes. Under Kantes leadership, they gradually took control of a large area of the enemy's deck. Subsequently, the two ships grappled, and a large number of sailors stormed the opposing deck. With Kante leading the way, they forced the Kingdom of Normas soldiers to retreat.
Boarding actions were extremely perilous; once overwhelmed, there was no escape route. They couldn't just jump into the sea to save themselves, could they?
After a fierce resistance, the flagship of Norma was defeated!
In the end, all the sailors had no choice but to surrender.
However, the situation on the other few ships was more complicated. Without a cheat-like freak like Kante taking the lead, it wasn't easy for either side to board the enemy's ship. After seeing the flagship being captured, the forces of Norma voluntarily scattered their ships and fled southward.
In the end, the forces of Gran only captured two of the enemy's ships, while the other four managed to escape back into the open sea.
But along the coast of the New Continent, the battleships couldn't come for the time being, and the Kingdom of Gran could only send wooden ships. Therefore, on this side, the Kingdom of Normas warships became more arrogant. Whenever they encountered the wooden ships of the Kingdom of Gran, they would come over to provoke, attack, and even plunder them.
The Kingdom of Gran had far fewer wooden sailing ships compared to the Kingdom of Norma, and their naval combat experience was also lacking. They had no choice but to avoid wandering on the sea as much as possible. Warships and merchant fleets stayed within the ports, and whenever they set sail, they would be escorted by warships. The merchant ships themselves would arm themselves, forming a massive fleet of armed merchant ships. With this setup, the naval forces of the Kingdom of Norma couldn't engage in a fleet battle unless they wanted to face off against such a large fleet.
Thus, a delicate atmosphere formed on the sea surface.
On the other side, on land, both sides were frantically developing the New Continent. The Kingdom of Norma employed standard iron-fisted colonial methods, brutally suppressing the native Maya people in the colonies, killing their warriors and wizards, and capturing their ordinary townsmen to work for them as laborers, treating them almost like livestock.
The Kingdom of Gran, however, took a different approach. Under Robb's supervision, they engaged in friendly exchanges with the Maya people, supporting and uplifting them. While constructing their own city-states on the New Continent, they employed a "hiring system" to obtain the assistance of the Maya people. Of course, the wages of these Maya people were lower than those of the local Gran citizens. Additionally, the people of the Kingdom of Gran, as per Robb's request, shared their knowledge and technology with the Maya people, helping them enter a new era.
Different approaches obviously led to different development costs.
The development of the Kingdom of Norma was clearly much faster. They had been operating on the New Continent for several years, and coupled with their shameless colonial methods, they quickly established several ports and numerous mining sites along the coast, making a fortune.
On the other hand, the Kingdom of Grans progress was much slower. After a long time, they still only had one port and two mining sites, but nearby Maya tribes began to grow and develop rapidly.
The people of the Kingdom of Norma once thought that the people of Gran had gone mad, actually going to play friendship with the natives. They mocked the foolishness of the Gran people while continuing to plunder and harm the Maya people. However, the Gran people, in the face of their ridicule, remained unfazed because they believed that the direction guided by the great Godfather must be right, and no one doubted this.
